Ok, yes, I did not in fact “run” the first annual Mud Run at Harrah’s to benefit the MS Society. My brave husband however did. And Saturday morning I stood out in the open sun, running through thorns, mud, water, hard and very uneven ground (in flip-flops!! what was I thinking????) in order to catch some of the highlights from his race. But it was so worth it. So much so that I am incredibly sorry I didn’t have the guts to sign up myself! This gruelling course took the majority of it’s runners more than an hour and a half to complete and I doubt even one of them would regret a moment of it. From the numerous mud pits (literally pits of watery mud), to the military walls, hurdles, tunnels and rope swings this was such an amazing event! Sean kept a great pace throughout the entire race pausing only a few times to help others on the race and still came in 4th by only 24 seconds. 
I don’t think I’ll be able to keep up his pace, but I’ll definitely give it a go for next year!!
